Navigating Disability Justice: Addressing Long COVID & Health Inequities
Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024, 5:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. MT
This webinar will reflect on the intersections of disability justice, offer community navigational knowledge, and help us think of the ways in which we can build a more equitable future within the contexts of health decline and pandemics. Disability is something we will all navigate, either through natural health decline or possibly from being repeatedly infected by COVID-19; one infection can change our lives forever. Join us for a candid discussion amongst fellow disabled long-COVID survivors, disability justice advocates, and COVID-19 safety organizers/specialists.
NIWRC Celebrates 30 Years of the Violence Against Women Act
During the week of Sept. 7, NIWRC joined partners and allies nationwide to celebrate 30 years of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).

As part of the planning committee for the evening VAWA 30 celebration, NIWRC was honored to join more than 450 attendees and 45 organizations in commemorating the collective work of advocates and survivors. Invited by President Biden, NIWRC reflected on the ongoing challenges Native women face and underscored the need for renewed commitment from policymakers and communities. We extend our thanks to the many partners and event organizers for their dedication to this movement. Together, we honor the past and remain focused on building a safer future for Native women.
